Our Organsation

Missio Austria is the Austrian branch of the Pontifical Mission Societies, working in over 140 countries. Rooted in the Catholic Church’s global mission, we support local communities through faith-based development, education, and emergency aid. Our goal is to spread hope, strengthen human dignity, and promote solidarity with the most vulnerable around the world.

We support grassroots initiatives that empower local churches and communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Our work focuses on education, healthcare, and pastoral training to improve living conditions and promote long-term change. At home in Austria, we engage in mission education and awareness-raising to build bridges of solidarity between people across cultures and continents.

Our Values

Encouraging
Our mission is rooted in the Gospel and guided by a deep respect for the dignity of every human being. We believe in solidarity, justice, and the universal call to serve others. Through faith-based action, we support those who are poor, marginalized, or displaced, regardless of background or belief. Openness, trust, and mutual respect shape our partnerships and educational outreach.

Why We Joined the Idea

need for action
We joined the Solar Pledge because we believe that access to clean, sustainable energy is a matter of justice. Many mission partners in Africa and Asia face unreliable or no electricity, limiting access to health care, education, and basic services. Supporting solar energy aligns with our values and helps ensure that essential infrastructure is powered in a climate-friendly, future-ready way.

Expected Impact

Stability for all
The introduction of solar power in mission areas can transform lives: clinics stay open at night, children can study after dark, and communities gain greater independence. Clean energy reduces environmental harm and cuts long-term costs. Our goal is to help build sustainable, resilient systems that improve living conditions, protect creation, and reflect a commitment to integral human development.
